Social skills groups are activity groups targeted to advanced learners diagnosed with autism that can benefit greatly from facilitated social interaction with other children possessing similar developmental skills. Toronto IBI's social groups are run throughout the year for children of various ages.

Collaboration with Families

We recognize the difficulties of having a child diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and understand that families will advocate for what is best for their child. Often this will include the incorporation of different classes and activities aimed at broadening their child's development.

At Toronto IBI, we always encourage families to involve their child in as many new activities and classes as possible, as increased exposure to new experiences result in an increase in learning opportunities. Toronto IBI will be there every step of the way to help aid you and your child as you navigate through different extracurricular activities.
